Evlalia Pavlovna Kazanovich (1885–1942) was one of the founders of the Pushkin House, where she cataloged materials from 1911, served as a librarian, assistant custodian of book collections, and later as a research fellow. In her published diaries, which cover the period from 1912 to 1923, Kazanovich devotes much attention not only to the Pushkin House, but also to the St. Petersburg Higher Women's (Bestuzhev) Courses, which she graduated from in 1913. She writes about famous writers and literary scholars with whom she had the opportunity to meet and communicate (A. A. Blok, F. K. Sologub, N. A. Kotlyarevsky, I. A. Shlyapkin, B. L. Modzalevsky, and many others) and the famous artists A. E. Yakovlev and V. I. Shukhaev. Kazanovich could say about herself in the words of her beloved Tyutchev: “Blessed is he who visited this world in its fateful moments…”; turning points in history were reflected in diary entries in descriptions of everyday life, recorded by an attentive observer.
